This week I asked everybody to show what they are working on at the moment. Until now the response I’ve received concerning the challenges has only been positive, but this one turned out to be a tricky one. One participant told me that this challenge made her feel guilty for having so many projects stored in her closet. I’m sorry if that is the way people feel, because that was not my intention at all. But let’s face it, if you are a truly knitaddict it does have some consequences, being broke and starting a lot of projects simultaneously are some of them. My thought was that showing our WIPs and UFOs might help us make status over our projects, which ones to finish and which ones to frog. I allways find looking at other peoples projects very inspiring, and that was my goal for this challenge – inspiration. <\/p>\n

Now I’m like most other knitters, and even if I’m living in London for just a year, I’ve still managed to build quite a collection of projects. Ok (deep breath) here we go. At the moment I’m trying to finish the baby sleepingbag as fast as I can, and as you can see on the pic it’s just the finishing left. Simultaneously I’m working on my Plum Perfectica dress, which is the project I enjoy most working on at the moment. As soon as I’m done with the sleepingbag I’ll continue on my pink cardi which has been put on hold for quite a while, I can’t wait to continue, the basketknitting is so much fun and the Debbie Bliss yarn is very soft and lovely to work with. Then there is the never ending Pinwheel sweather, at least I’ve started on one of the arms. I find this project incredible boring, so I just pick it up when there is something keeping me from working on other projects, like when I run out of yarn or don’t have the equipment needed at the moment. Finally there is the Sea sweather, oh how I love that yarn, but everything else turned out really bad with this project. I don’t know where my eyes were when I measured and calculated this project cause nothing came out right. The plan is to frog it when I get the time, and then turn the yarn into something beautyful, as it deserves.<\/p>\n

Denne uken har jeg spurt deltakerne om hvilke prosjekter de jobber med for \u00f8yeblikket. Noen mente at en slik oppgave ville vekke den d\u00e5rlige samvittigheten v\u00e5r, og hvis det er s\u00e5nn s\u00e5 beklager jeg, for det var ikke min intensjon i det hele tatt. Poenget mitt var at dette kanskje kunne hjelpe oss med \u00e5 gj\u00f8re opp status og med \u00e5 ta noen avgj\u00f8relser, hvilke prosjekter man skal gj\u00f8re ferdig og hvilke som skal kasseres for godt. Jeg henter masse inspirasjon n\u00e5r jeg kikker p\u00e5 andres prosjekter og det var selvf\u00f8lgelig ogs\u00e5 et m\u00e5l med denne oppgaven – inspirasjon. <\/p>\n

Ok, s\u00e5 er det min tur. Det jeg pr\u00f8ver \u00e5 f\u00e5 gjort ferdig s\u00e5 snart som mulig er kj\u00f8reposen, og der st\u00e5r det ikke s\u00e5 mye igjen. Samtidig s\u00e5 jobber jeg med Purple Perfectica kjolen min. S\u00e5 snart kj\u00f8reposen er ferdig skal jeg kaste meg over den rosa omslagsjakken, den har f\u00e5tt en lang pause n\u00e5, og jeg kan ikke vente med \u00e5 komme igang igjen. Sirkeljakken blir visst aldri ferdig, og det er fordi den er s\u00e5 vannvittig kjedelig \u00e5 holde p\u00e5 med. Den har endt opp som et “reserveprosjekt” som jeg bare tar fram n\u00e5r noe forhindrer meg i \u00e5 jobbe p\u00e5 de andre prosjektene, som at jeg har g\u00e5tt tom for garn eller noe. Sea genseren har jeg bestemt meg for \u00e5 rekke opp, der har alt bare blitt helt feil. Jeg syns det garnet er s\u00e5 fantastisk flott og da fortjener det \u00e5 bli brukt til noe fantastisk ogs\u00e5, jeg m\u00e5 bare finne ut til hva.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
